Hillary flip flops on public option twice within 2 minutes [View all]

[Cheese Sandwich]

Hillary might be looking into a public health insurance option for people 55 and up... She would like to get behind it, but there's just no data to support it, but if there were, heck it could be a good idea, she'll look into it. Translation: Not a snowball's chance in hell.

um....I'm also in favor of what's called the public option, so that people can buy into, ya know, Medicare above a certain age, which will then take a lot of the pressure off the cost because the argument is that costs go up because real world experience means that people are getting sicker or the costs have to be spread. I want to get behind that because I don't yet see the data to support that but if you were able to move people 55 or 50 and up who are the biggest users of health care into the Medicare program they would have to buy in but they would be buying in to such a big program that the costs would be, ya know, more distributed, so there's a lot of things I'm looking at to try to deal with exactly the problem you're talking about.

Lovely. Glad to know she's on the case with this health insurance emergency that we are still facing.
